2023-2024学年度高一第二学期期末热身试 英语 本试题卷共8页。全卷满分130分。考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 阅读 (共两节, 满分42.5分) 第一节 (共12 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分30分) 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Nancy Meherne lives a simple life by the sea, gardening and riding the waves at Scarborough Beach just a couple of blocks from her house. The 92-year-old’s board was made in New Zealand in the 1970s. Unlike its owner, it’s a little worse for wear—its blue and red design is long gone, but it’s easy to carry and suits her just fine. Often wearing just a swimsuit, despite summer water temperatures ranging from 14℃ to 18℃, the grandmother of seven walks into the sea, waits for the perfect wave and jumps on. Born in Wellington in 1929, Meherne says her life has been full, with “never a boring moment”. In 1952, she left New Zealand by ship to study and work in England and other countries in Europe, spending her weekends and holidays exploring the region, sleeping in train stations or youth hostels. Her travels also took her to India, Syria, Lebanon and Pakistan, where she taught at a school for three months. After returning to New Zealand in 1956, Mecherne raised three children with her husband, Doug, while teaching in primary schools and a music school. Her teaching philosophy was similar to her life philosophy: “You’ve got to have fun.” A crazy swimmer and life saver in her youth, Meherne says she didn’t pick up surfing until her late 30s or early 40s when she was living in Sumner and started borrowing her son’s board. “So many things are full of effort, this isn’t. You just lie there. I never did try to stand up and I’ve never felt the need to. I enjoy the break it provides me from everyday life,” she says. Mchern will be 93 in August 2022 and says she will keep surfing for as long as she is able to “do a little jump” to get on the waves. Her husband Doung says: “She has kept the bar pretty high there. She has aged but she hasn’t got old—you know what I’m saying?” 1. What is Meherne’s board like now? A. It can’t stand big waves. B. It has history of 92 years. C. Its color has changed to blue. D. Its surface is a little worn out. 2. Why would Meherne like to live a full life? A. To help the poor. B. To seek pleasure. C. To raise her family. D. To know the world. 3. What does Meherne say about surfing? A. It’s relaxing and effortless. B. It was taught by his son. C. It’s cool to stand on the board. D. It was her dream as ac child. 4. What can we learn from Meherne’s story? A. Time waits for no man. B. No pains, no gains. C. Old in age, young at heart. D. Better late than never. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. A 4. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了主人公 Nancy Meherne一生的生活经历，以及通过她的种种经历让人明白了人老心未老的生活态度。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The 92-year-old’s board was made in New Zealand in the 1970s.”（这位92岁高龄老人的冲浪板是上世纪70年代在新西兰制造的。）可知，Meherne的冲浪板现在已经有92年的历史了。ACD均匀原文实意不符。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Born in Wellington in 1929, Meherne says her life has been full, with “never a boring moment”. In 1952, she left New Zealand by ship to study and work in England and other countries in Europe, spending her weekends and holidays exploring the region, sleeping in train stations or youth hostels. Her travels also took her to India, Syria, Lebanon and Pakistan, where she taught at a school for three months. After returning to New Zealand in 1956, Mecherne raised three children with her husband, Doug, while teaching in primary schools and a music school. Her teaching philosophy was similar to her life philosophy: 'You’ve got to have fun.'”（Meherne 1929年出生于惠灵顿，她说自己的生活很充实，“从来没有无聊的时刻”。1952年，她乘船离开新西兰，前往英国和欧洲其他国家学习和工作，在周末和假期里探索这一地区，睡在火车站或青年旅社里。她还去了印度、叙利亚、黎巴嫩和巴基斯坦，在那里的一所学校教了三个月书。1956年回到新西兰后，Mecherne和她的丈夫道格一起抚养了三个孩子，同时在小学和音乐学校教书。她的教学哲学与她的人生哲学相似：“你必须要过得愉快。”）可知，Meherne想过充实的生活是为了过得愉快，寻找快乐。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“'So many things are full of effort, this isn’t. You just lie there. I never did try to stand up and I’ve never felt the need to. I enjoy the break it provides me from everyday life,' she says.”（“这么多事情都需要努力，这不是。你就躺在那儿。我从不努力站起来，也从来没有觉得有必要。我喜欢它给我提供了离开日常生活的休息”她说。）可知，Meherne在谈到冲浪时，认为冲浪是放松的以及不费力气的。故选A项。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“Meherne will be 93 in August, 2022 and says she will keep surfing for as long as she is able to “do a little jump” to get on the waves. Her husband Doung says: “She has kept the bar pretty high there. She has aged but she hasn’t got old—you know what I’m saying?”（到2022年8月，Meherne就93岁了。她说，只要她能在海浪上“跳一小下”，她就会继续冲浪。她的丈夫道格说:“她在这方面一直保持很高的标准。她老了，但她没有变老——你明白我的意思吗?）可推知，从Meherne的故事中，我们可以学到“年纪大了，心还年轻”这个道理。A项“时间不等人”、B项“没有付出就没有收获”、D项“迟做总比不做好”均与原文内容不符。故选C项。 B The end of a semester can be a challenging time for students. Kids from elementary school through high school are already stressed after more than a year of C0VID-19 disrupted learning. Pressing through the last few weeks of a semester can be discouraging, especially for older students with demanding final projects and exams. “Parents’ fears about their kids are so often not about the present but the future — a fear that kids who are struggling will get stuck there. But kids rarely stay stuck, in part because they too want their lives to work out,” says Ned Johnson, a test preparation expert. When children show signs of stress, parents should respond by focusing on mental health, not achievement or grades. Families can create a sense of safety for children by establishing routines for the day and week, especially those that emphasize connection, such as family dinnertime and a bedtime chat. Parents should meet kids with empathy and listening, instead of trying to solve their problems. For example, we can normalize family conversation about the ups and downs of the day. As Madeline Levine, a psychologist, put it: let your children “borrow your calm”. In addition, peer support programs can also play an important role in teaching skills for stress management and wellness. “Teens will talk to other teens, especially when they feel they are in a brave space built on trust,” Katie Hurley, a psychotherapist says. Some children may arrive at the finish line exhausted and needing sleep. Or perhaps they are eager to celebrate the holidays with all the usual fanfare. Honor your child’s wishes and plan to create the break that fits your family’s needs. McKenna Reitz, a mom from Toledo, Ohio, plans for her daughters Karsen, 9, and Maddox, 6, to enjoy time off with family and friends. Her holiday plan apparently reflects that. “It is the most important thing they need right now,” she says. “Our children need to know that they are not alone.” 5. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Children are struggling in study in the present situation. B. Children’s focusing on grades makes them stay stuck in learning. C. Parents stay stuck in making their children live to work out. D. Parents’ fear about children getting stuck in study is unnecessary. 6. Why does the author mention Madeline Levine? A. To ask parents to stay calm before their kids. B. To show the necessity of talking to kids before tests. C. To make parents let go of their kids during COVID-19. D. To stress the importance of the help from the experts. 7. What does “that” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Staying with kids in holidays. B. Respecting the needs of kids. C. Helping kids celebrate holidays. D. Keeping exhausted kids happy. 8. What does the author want to show? A. Parents should help kids to prepare their tests. B. Parents should keep a closer eyes on kids study. C. Parents should connect their kids more with nature. D. Parents should let kids take a break from school stress. 【答案】5. D 6. A 7. B 8. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了从小学到高中的孩子们已经感到压力很大，学期最后几周的压力可能会让人沮丧，尤其是对年纪较大的学生来说，他们的期末项目和考试要求很高，对此家长应该关注孩子的心理健康，而不是成绩。同时提出了一些给孩子减轻压力的方法。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Parents’ fears about their kids are so often not about the present but the future — a fear that kids who are struggling will get stuck there. But kids rarely stay stuck, in part because they too want their lives to work out,” says Ned Johnson, a test preparation expert. When children show signs of stress, parents should respond by focusing on mental health, not achievement or grades.(“父母对孩子的担忧往往不是针对现在，而是针对未来——他们担心正在挣扎的孩子会陷入困境。但孩子们很少会停滞不前，部分原因是他们也希望自己的生活一帆风顺，”备考专家Ned Johnson说。当孩子表现出压力迹象时，父母应该关注心理健康，而不是成绩或分数)”可知，父母担心孩子陷入学习困境是没有必要的。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Families can create a sense of safety for children by establishing routines for the day and week, especially those that emphasize connection, such as family dinnertime and a bedtime chat. Parents should meet kids with empathy and listening, instead of trying to solve their problems. For example, we can normalize family conversation about the ups and downs of the day. As Madeline Levine, a psychologist, put it: let your children “borrow your calm”.(家庭可以通过建立日常和每周的惯例，尤其是那些强调联系的惯例，如家庭晚餐时间和睡前聊天，来为孩子创造一种安全感。父母应该以同情和倾听的态度对待孩子，而不是试图解决他们的问题。例如，我们可以让家人谈论一天的起起落落。正如心理学家Madeline Levine所说：让你的孩子“借用你的冷静”)”可推知，作者提到了Madeline Levine是为了让父母在孩子面前保持冷静。故选A。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Honor your child’s wishes and plan to create the break that fits your family’s needs. McKenna Reitz, a mom from Toledo, Ohio, plans for her daughters Karsen, 9, and Maddox, 6, to enjoy time off with family and friends.”可知，尊重你孩子的愿望，计划创造一个适合你家庭需要的休息时间。来自俄亥俄州托莱多的母亲麦肯纳·赖茨计划让9岁的卡尔森和6岁的马多克斯与家人和朋友一起享受假期，她的假期计划显然反映了尊重孩子的需要这一点。故that指的是“尊重孩子的需要”。故选B。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“When children show signs of stress, parents should respond by focusing on mental health, not achievement or grades.(当孩子表现出压力迹象时，父母应该关注心理健康，而不是成绩或分数)”结合文章主要说明了从小学到高中的孩子们已经感到压力很大，学期最后几周的压力可能会让人沮丧，尤其是对年纪较大的学生来说，他们的期末项目和考试要求很高，对此家长应该关注孩子的心理健康，而不是成绩。同时提出了一些给孩子减轻压力的方法。可推知，作者想表明父母应该让孩子从学校的压力中休息一下。故选D。 C Launched in Singapore last November, Hong Kong-based company Omnifoods has introduced a range of six plant-based seafood to stand in for tuna, crab and whitefish. Similar to their pork substitutes, the new products are said to offer a safe and alternative source of protein while tackling environmental concerns like overfishing and worsening of the seas. Omnifoods' expansion comes at a time when the market for plant-based products is growing. According to Enterprise Singapore, local interest in sensible consumption doubled in 2021, and flexitarians — people who primarily eat a plant-based diet but occasionally consume meat or seafood — represent the fastest growth. The ocean is another reason cited as the need for plant-based seafood. The average person here consumed 22kg of seafood last year, surpassing the global average of 20kg. The World Wide Fund for Nature(WWF) also observed that three quarters of the seafood served in Singapore is unsustainable. Besides, fish farming involves the use of chemicals to prevent disease and parasites and these chemicals then accumulate in fish tissues, which becomes a serious threat to people's health. Omnifoods says their products address all these concerns. Made primarily from non-genetically modified soybeans, the plant-based alternatives are free of harmful substances, absolutely safe. The company pointed out that the products share a similar look, feel and taste of the real thing. “We've done pilot taste tests with friends, family, and one sushi restaurant. Many admire the appearance and mouthfeel that our tuna product has as well as its nutritional benefits. Now we are struggling to improve our product until it's an exact match or tastes better than animal-based tuna,” added David Yeung. Besides Omnifoods, Singapore companies are also exploring the alternative seafood market. Growthwell Group recently raised US $22 million to fund its attempt into shrimp, squid and crab made using chickpea protein. “Global demand for plant-based meats is also shooting up, with the value set to reach US $ 23.2 billion by 2024,” said market research company Euromonitor. 9. Which is the highlight of the plant-based seafood? A. Being reasonably-priced. B. Being physically-appealing. C. Being environmentally-friendly. D. Being personally-tailored. 10. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A. The recent trend in people's diet. B. The potential risks of fishing farming. C. The methods of Omnifoods expanding its business. D. The factors driving the popularity of plant-based seafood. 11. Which best describes the prospect of the alternative seafood market? A Promising. B. Risky. C. Worrying. D. Uncertain. 12. What's the best title of the text? A. Real Seafood Is to be Replaced B. Alternative-seafood Has a Long Way to Go C. Omnifoods: A Pioneer of Plant-based Seafood D. Next Food Frontier: Seafood Made From Plants 【答案】9. C 10. D 11. A 12. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了去年11月，总部位于香港的Omnifoods公司在新加坡推出了6种植物性海鲜，取代了金枪鱼、螃蟹和白鱼。与他们的猪肉替代品类似，这些新产品据说提供了一种安全的替代蛋白质来源，同时解决了过度捕捞和海洋恶化等环境问题。文章主要介绍了推动植物性海鲜受欢迎的因素以及这一行业的前景情况。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Similar to their pork substitutes, the new products are said to offer a safe and alternative source of protein while tackling environmental concerns like overfishing and worsening of the seas.(与他们的猪肉替代品类似，这些新产品据说提供了一种安全的替代蛋白质来源，同时解决了过度捕捞和海洋恶化等环境问题)”可知，植物性海鲜的亮点是环保。故选C。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Omnifoods' expansion comes at a time when the market for plant-based products is growing. According to Enterprise Singapore, local interest in sensible consumption doubled in 2021, and flexitarians — people who primarily eat a plant-based diet but occasionally consume meat or seafood — represent the fastest growth.

The World Wide Fund for Nature(WWF) also observed that three quarters of the seafood served in Singapore is unsustainable. Besides, fish farming involves the use of chemicals to prevent disease and parasites and these chemicals then accumulate in fish tissues, which becomes a serious threat to people's health. (Omnifoods的扩张正值植物性产品市场不断增长之际。据企业新加坡称，当地居民对合理消费的兴趣在2021年翻了一番，而弹性素食者——主要吃植物性饮食，但偶尔吃肉类或海鲜——增长最快。海洋是另一个原因，被认为是对植物性海鲜的需求。去年，这里的人均海鲜消费量为22公斤，超过了全球平均水平20公斤。世界自然基金会也观察到，新加坡供应的四分之三的海鲜是不可持续的。此外，养鱼涉及使用化学物质来预防疾病和寄生虫，这些化学物质会积聚在鱼的组织中，这对人们的健康构成严重威胁)”可知，第二段主要讲的是推动植物性海鲜受欢迎的因素。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Growthwell Group recently raised US $22 million to fund its attempt into shrimp, squid and crab made using chickpea protein. “Global demand for plant-based meats is also shooting up, with the value set to reach US $ 23.2 billion by 2024,” said market research company Euromonitor.(Growthwell集团最近筹集了2200万美元，用于开发用鹰嘴豆蛋白制成的虾、鱿鱼和螃蟹。“全球对植物性肉类的需求也在飙升，到2024年，其价值将达到232亿美元，”市场研究公司欧睿表示)”可推知，替代海鲜市场的前景非常乐观。故选A。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Launched in Singapore last November, Hong Kong-based company Omnifoods has introduced a range of six plant-based seafood to stand in for tuna, crab and whitefish. Similar to their pork substitutes, the new products are said to offer a safe and alternative source of protein while tackling environmental concerns like overfishing and worsening of the seas.(去年11月，总部位于香港的Omnifoods公司在新加坡推出了6种植物性海鲜，取代了金枪鱼、螃蟹和白鱼。与他们的猪肉替代品类似，这些新产品据说提供了一种安全的替代蛋白质来源，同时解决了过度捕捞和海洋恶化等环境问题)”结合文章主要介绍了推动植物性海鲜受欢迎的因素以及这一行业的前景情况。可知，D选项“下一个食品前沿：植物制造的海鲜”最符合文章标题。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The wrong donations end up costing charities precious dollars just to store leftovers (积压物资 ), which is why clothing may not be the best use of your donation efforts.____13____ Think of the children.

Donate your skills to your community. If you are trained in disaster response, you can contact your local emergency services and the Red Cross to see if they need volunteers. Let them know your abilities. ____15____ Do not go as an individual volunteer to a disaster area expecting to find ways to help. ___16___ Time and comfort are the two most important things you can give for free.

Besides donating money, volunteering is the best way to give. _____17_____ The Red Cross and charity organizations prefer a trained group of volunteers who can jump into action. They don’t have the resources to train during the disasters. A. Donate to an organization you can trust. B. These items are expensive to transport to shelters. C.

F. Turn your dollars into toys and entertainment choices for kids of all ages. G. Here are some tips you can follow to help people in need in the most wise ways. 【答案】13. G 14. F 15. D 16. C 17. E 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章就如何给灾区人们提供帮助，提出了一些实用建议。 【13题详解】 根据上文“The wrong donations end up costing charities precious dollars just to store leftovers (积压物资 ), which is why clothing may not be the best use of your donation efforts.”可知，错误的捐赠只会花费慈善机构宝贵的金钱来储存积压的物资，这就是为什么衣物可能不是你捐赠的最佳途径。再结合下文提到的四个建议，可推知设空处应给人们一些捐赠或帮助有需要的人的建议。G项“这里有一些建议你可以采纳，以用最明智的方式来帮助那些有需要的人”符合语境。故选G。 【14题详解】 根据上文“As families influenced by a disaster try to protect their children from the effects, they try to provide children with toys, snacks, juices, candies, and other comfort items, particularly in post-disaster environments.”（当受灾的家庭努力保护孩子不受影响时，他们尽量给孩子们提供玩具、零食、果汁、糖果或其它带来安慰的物品，尤其在灾后的环境中）和下文“Shelters will accept these donations and give them out properly.”（收容所会接收这些捐赠，然后用适当的方式分发出去）可推知，设空处应建议捐赠者买一些玩具给孩子们。F项“把你的钱变成适合各年龄段孩子的玩具和娱乐选择”符合语境，toys是关键词。故选F。 【15题详解】 根据上文“If you are trained in disaster response, you can contact your local emergency services and the Red Cross to see if they need volunteers. Let them know your abilities.”（如果你接受过灾难应对方面的培训，你可以与当地的应急服务机构和红十字会取得联系，看他们是否需要志愿者。让他们知道你的能力。）可推知，下文应陈述如果他们需要你擅长领域的志愿者就会和你联系。D项“然后，如果他们需要志愿者，他们就会继续跟进。”符合语境，volunteers是关键词。故选D。 【16题详解】 设空处为本段主旨句。根据下文的“Time and comfort are the two most important things you can give for free. Spend time listening to the victims (受灾群众) with an understanding ear. You can bring books and read to the children.”（时间和安慰是你能免费给与的最重要的两样东西。花时间倾听受害者的心声。你可以带书读给孩子们听）可知，本段的建议是花时间和受灾的人待在一起，陪伴他们度过艰难时刻。C项“花时间照顾避难所的家庭和个人”符合语境，spend time是关键词。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Become a volunteer now for the future. Besides donating money, volunteering is the best way to give.”（为了未来，现在就成为一名志愿者。除了捐钱，做志愿者是最好的给予方式）和下文“The Red Cross and charity organizations prefer a trained group of volunteers who can jump into action.”（红十字会和慈善组织更喜欢训练有素的志愿者队伍，他们可以立即行动起来。）可推知，设空处应陈述想要成为志愿者，应该在灾难前进行训练，这样才能在灾难来临时给与帮助。E项“然而，你必须在灾难发生前就开始这个过程”符合语境，选项中的this process指代上文提到的become a volunteer。故选E。 第二部分 语言运用 (共两节, 满分30分) 第一节 (共15 小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The first time my grandma came to visit us in Canada, she was a little upset.

Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers. One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的)to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing,but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage. Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)!Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly. “Well, my poor girl, don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced. Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.” 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion. Going on singing,she walked into the park,where many people were singing and dancing. 【答案】范文 Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion.

A grandma smiled to her and said, “Oh, little girl, you sing really well!” Emily said thanks to her. Emily felt pleased that she could sing confidently in front of strangers. The second year, the neighborhood held the singing competition again. This time, Emily walked onto the stage bravely, and her loud and beautiful voice of singing moved all the people.

The 92-year-old’s board was made in New Zealand in the 1970s. Unlike its owner, it’s a little worse for wear—its blue and red design is long gone, but it’s easy to carry and suits her just fine. Often wearing just a swimsuit, despite summer water temperatures ranging from 14℃ to 18℃, the grandmother of seven walks into the sea, waits for the perfect wave and jumps on. Born in Wellington in 1929, Meherne says her life has been full, with “never a boring moment”. In 1952, she left New Zealand by ship to study and work in England and other countries in Europe, spending her weekends and holidays exploring the region, sleeping in train stations or youth hostels. Her travels also took her to India, Syria, Lebanon and Pakistan, where she taught at a school for three months. After returning to New Zealand in 1956, Mecherne raised three children with her husband, Doug, while teaching in primary schools and a music school. Her teaching philosophy was similar to her life philosophy: “You’ve got to have fun.” A crazy swimmer and life saver in her youth, Meherne says she didn’t pick up surfing until her late 30s or early 40s when she was living in Sumner and started borrowing her son’s board. “So many things are full of effort, this isn’t. You just lie there. I never did try to stand up and I’ve never felt the need to. I enjoy the break it provides me from everyday life,” she says. Mchern will be 93 in August, 2022 and says she will keep surfing for as long as she is able to “do a little jump” to get on the waves. Her husband Doung says: “She has kept the bar pretty high there. She has aged but she hasn’t got old—you know what I’m saying?” 1. What is Meherne’s board like now? A. It can’t stand big waves. B. It has history of 92 years. C. Its color has changed to blue. D. Its surface is a little worn out. 2. Why would Meherne like to live a full life? A. To help the poor. B. To seek pleasure. C. To raise her family. D. To know the world. 3. What does Meherne say about surfing? A. It’s relaxing and effortless. B. It was taught by his son. C. It’s cool to stand on the board. D. It was her dream as ac child. 4 What can we learn from Meherne’s story? A. Time waits for no man. B. No pains, no gains. C. Old in age, young at heart. D. Better late than never. B The end of a semester can be a challenging time for students. Kids from elementary school through high school are already stressed after more than a year of C0VID-19 disrupted learning. Pressing through the last few weeks of a semester can be discouraging, especially for older students with demanding final projects and exams. “Parents’ fears about their kids are so often not about the present but the future — a fear that kids who are struggling will get stuck there. But kids rarely stay stuck, in part because they too want their lives to work out,” says Ned Johnson, a test preparation expert. When children show signs of stress, parents should respond by focusing on mental health, not achievement or grades. Families can create a sense of safety for children by establishing routines for the day and week, especially those that emphasize connection, such as family dinnertime and a bedtime chat. Parents should meet kids with empathy and listening, instead of trying to solve their problems. For example, we can normalize family conversation about the ups and downs of the day. As Madeline Levine, a psychologist, put it: let your children “borrow your calm”. In addition, peer support programs can also play an important role in teaching skills for stress management and wellness. “Teens will talk to other teens, especially when they feel they are in a brave space built on trust,” Katie Hurley, a psychotherapist says. Some children may arrive at the finish line exhausted and needing sleep. Or perhaps they are eager to celebrate the holidays with all the usual fanfare. Honor your child’s wishes and plan to create the break that fits your family’s needs. McKenna Reitz, a mom from Toledo, Ohio, plans for her daughters Karsen, 9, and Maddox, 6, to enjoy time off with family and friends. Her holiday plan apparently reflects that. “It is the most important thing they need right now,” she says. “Our children need to know that they are not alone.” 5. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Children are struggling in study in the present situation. B. Children’s focusing on grades makes them stay stuck in learning. C. Parents stay stuck in making their children live to work out. D. Parents’ fear about children getting stuck in study is unnecessary. 6. Why does the author mention Madeline Levine? A. To ask parents to stay calm before their kids. B. To show the necessity of talking to kids before tests. C. To make parents let go of their kids during COVID-19. D. To stress the importance of the help from the experts. 7. What does “that” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A Staying with kids in holidays. B. Respecting the needs of kids. C. Helping kids celebrate holidays. D. Keeping exhausted kids happy. 8 What does the author want to show? A. Parents should help kids to prepare their tests. B. Parents should keep a closer eyes on kids study. C. Parents should connect their kids more with nature. D. Parents should let kids take a break from school stress. C Launched in Singapore last November, Hong Kong-based company Omnifoods has introduced a range of six plant-based seafood to stand in for tuna, crab and whitefish. Similar to their pork substitutes, the new products are said to offer a safe and alternative source of protein while tackling environmental concerns like overfishing and worsening of the seas. Omnifoods' expansion comes at a time when the market for plant-based products is growing. According to Enterprise Singapore, local interest in sensible consumption doubled in 2021, and flexitarians — people who primarily eat a plant-based diet but occasionally consume meat or seafood — represent the fastest growth. The ocean is another reason cited as the need for plant-based seafood. The average person here consumed 22kg of seafood last year, surpassing the global average of 20kg. The World Wide Fund for Nature(WWF) also observed that three quarters of the seafood served in Singapore is unsustainable. Besides, fish farming involves the use of chemicals to prevent disease and parasites and these chemicals then accumulate in fish tissues, which becomes a serious threat to people's health. Omnifoods says their products address all these concerns. Made primarily from non-genetically modified soybeans, the plant-based alternatives are free of harmful substances, absolutely safe. The company pointed out that the products share a similar look, feel and taste of the real thing. “We've done pilot taste tests with friends, family, and one sushi restaurant. Many admire the appearance and mouthfeel that our tuna product has as well as its nutritional benefits. Now we are struggling to improve our product until it's an exact match or tastes better than animal-based tuna,” added David Yeung. Besides Omnifoods, Singapore companies are also exploring the alternative seafood market. Growthwell Group recently raised US $22 million to fund its attempt into shrimp, squid and crab made using chickpea protein. “Global demand for plant-based meats is also shooting up, with the value set to reach US $ 23.2 billion by 2024,” said market research company Euromonitor. 9. Which is the highlight of the plant-based seafood? A. Being reasonably-priced. B. Being physically-appealing. C. Being environmentally-friendly. D. Being personally-tailored. 10. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A. The recent trend in people's diet. B. The potential risks of fishing farming. C. The methods of Omnifoods expanding its business. D. The factors driving the popularity of plant-based seafood. 11. Which best describes the prospect of the alternative seafood market? A. Promising. B. Risky. C. Worrying. D. Uncertain. 12. What's the best title of the text? A. Real Seafood Is to be Replaced B. Alternative-seafood Has a Long Way to Go C. Omnifoods: A Pioneer of Plant-based Seafood D. Next Food Frontier: Seafood Made From Plants 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The wrong donations end up costing charities precious dollars just to store leftovers (积压物资 ), which is why clothing may not be the best use of your donation efforts.____13____ Think of the children.

Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers. One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的)to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing,but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage. Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)!Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly. “Well, my poor girl, don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced. Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure.You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.” 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion. Going on singing,she walked into the park,where many people were singing and dancing. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
